That has happened to me, but I never thought it was because of a ratio, and I have made a change that made sense more often then not...ie: add .005 to a .005 and go .010.

Please know that I am not breaking balls or making "fun" of anyone, I always want to learn something, I would just have a tuff time believing that unless Kevin from K&R or one of the Biandos said it was true.

In all seriousness, most have a range on the tree (for any given day)...its pretty tough to be within .003-5 every light, cause there are so many variables...track, staging, light, etc...

So doesnt it seem like sometimes when you take out or add, your light doesnt change as much, or changes more ?

Lets say your normal spread is .010...so if your set up for a .020, you might be .012, then .017, then .026, then .015 again....then now if you add or take away from the box, your spread will change to reflect that...

Actually Pete, I give you alot of credit for staying with your settings and racing to win !!! You would feel like crap if you took out .020, then went red....or stayed the same cause you missed it a little and took out more...Jim had a great package and thats it...

Go to Drag Race Central and look in the later rounds for any given racer and look at his/her light over 5-6 rounds...very rare to see someone within .005 for every round...

You went to the final in a National Event....I know tons of guys who havent even been close, so take some credit for getting there....Even if you had a duck in one of the rounds....
